Anyone here ever heard of or used Roedale before? Experiences positive or negative would be greatly appreciated

Hi Newbie.204

Have definitely heard of Roedale - They are based in northern Germany near Osnabruck and seem to be well-rated (but I've no first-hand experience of them myself).
Some very nice equipment, but having checked their prices for custom work myself online (they have a fairly comprehensive website), I've decided to go another route for now.
If you are looking for a custom rifle in that price range - maybe an AI or an Unique Alpine might be worth looking at.
Also, as always, it's best to shop around (obviously:D!) - maybe look at South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies, Riflecraft, or Armalon (all in the UK)

OR if you want to keep your business here in Ireland, there are a few upcoming and established builders. Might be worth having a chat with one of them, before heading off to Deutschland.:D

Hope that's of some help to you for starters- The more experienced here on boards.ie will probably give you more help and advice though! Best of luck with your search.

Word from the Wise dont go near Roedale precision.

Good Rifle's if you have a life time to wait for them and endless patience.
It was a very unpleasant and time consuming 2 year with wait with a lot of hassle for something that was promised delivery in 5 months .

Pm me if you want to

Do not go down that particular road, it will end in tears.

Contact Dave at South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies, he's a good fella and makes a good rifle too.

Others are... Dasherman, Northern Chris, (Both website ID's, mostly the AGBBS), Steve Kershaw, Brock & Norris.

I've heard a lot of good things and no bad about the above five. I would ring SYSS, speak to Dave and see what deal ye can do.

I have a custom 308 sako Roedale, also had a tricked up howa sporter. Best group of the tricked up 22-250 howa was 0.3mm 3 shot (sporter).
Two ways of looking at it, if you are patient and can put pressure on the chap for a while you'll get a roedale, if not ... you won't have a roedale.
My custom rifle took half a year door to door, but I think it mostly takes much longer. Another bonus... buy one roedale and get advice for free for long time to go, reduced prices on S&B scopes and so on.
There is good and bad, but my rifles from him shoot.
If one wants a quick build why not try an Irish builder? Fergal White has possibly got quicker delivery times at the moment.

Either way the custom route is worth it.

Don't discount a fox off the shelf custom assembled rifle. The stiller action with 30" barrel fitted to the AI stock against, buying a new TRG from a dealer here, would make for an interesting price comparison for both firearm and cost.

if i was going to build another rifle , precision rifle services .callum ferguson is the man i would be chatting to .

steve kershaw re barreled my 270 it shoots every thing i try in it into the one hole if i do my bit.

What kind of rifle are you looking for? caliber? hunting or target?
What kind of action?

Remmy 700 bolt gun .308, i'm still toying with going full custom, or picking up a serviceable rifle here and having it blueprinted and rebarelled.

Pure deer rifle the only time it will see the range is for getting my zeros/clicks for ranging. Not into punching paper unless i have to.
